I'm not quite sure why "One Shining Moment" is such a big fucking deal every year. There are certainly worse songs on the planet, but that's only because those songs are memorably shitty. This one's just blandly saccharine, like a half-assed animated Disney musical. I guess a song and a highlight reel is a nice way to cap off the tournament, but to have some kind of emotional connection to it is just kind of sad. It's the sports equivalent of jerking off to "A Whole New World" in Aladdin.

If they wanted to get the shittiest song ever to recap the tournament, there is a perfectly acceptable Kid Rock catalog still out there.

So we’re not supposed to jerk off to songs in Disney musicals? Fuck.

The correct song would be Skee-Lo's "I Wish." Luther Vandross makes me feel embarrassed to be black. And I'm not.

Still not compelling, however, still gay.

Could be worse, just, during the BBC's world championship snooker coverage they'd show a highlights of yesteryear reel with The Way We Were playing. Don't know if they still do it, i don't watch fucking snooker.

Personally, I would have gone with something from the creative stylings of WHAM! You know, to truely capture the gay.

Maybe I've been living under a rock, but I've NEVER heard that gay ass song.

I turned the game off with Memphis up by 9. I'm just going to assume the retrospective featuring Callipari's victorious boys was a tear-jerker.

It's a big deal because CBS hypes the motherfucking shit out of it. And fuck them in the fucking ass for showing A.J. Price getting carried off after blowing out his ACL. That's a tourney highlight? Fuck you, CBS. No, FUCK YOU, CBS!

Yeah I'm a Uconn fan, so what?

I would never jerk off to Aladdin. Now Pocahontas, she has a nice beaver.

That's what the theater manager told me. I was as surprised as you.

Good god, I just watched 48 seconds the video. All it reminded me of was the tournament is about 63 losers and one gay song. Someone stick me with a Cowboys’ shank, please. And yes Merck I beat your time ya' lightweight, but I will pay dearly for it.

WTF, a clip of Bayless? really? like it's not already bad enough that we lost to WVU and our 2 best players are going Pro leaving the team (and dynasty) in shambles.
